Shaykh Mogra, a scholar and imam from Leicester, said: “It is deplorable and wrong that our Jewish community here has been the target of hate crimes. “The Jewish community, led by the Board of Deputies, the Jewish Leadership Council, and the Community Security Trust has long condemned and continues to condemn all racism directed against Muslims, from whatever source. “As leaders in the British Jewish and Muslim communities we affirm the importance of maintaining our relationships even, and especially, in troubled times. I stand in full solidarity with the Jewish community in the face of the disgraceful hatred and prejudice we’re seeing on our streets, online and on campuses. And if anything is standing in the way of keeping the Jewish community safe, we will fix it.
